Carbon Reduction Plan

1. Commitment to Achieving Net Zero

Fuse CS is committed to achieving Net Zero carbon emissions by 2040. Our approach combines innovative IT solutions with a deep responsibility towards sustainability. By leveraging energy-efficient cloud commuting platforms like Microsoft Azure, optimising our operations, and guiding our clients toward greener practices, we are dedicated to reducing our carbon footprint. We believe in integrating sustainability into every aspect of our business, ensuring that our growth and success contribute to a healthier planet. Fuse CS is committed to driving positive environmental change, and achieving Net Zero by 2040 is a key part of that mission.

2. Baseline Emissions Footprint

1st August 2023 to 31 July 2024

Our original baseline that we used, we feel wasn’t detailed enough, so we have revisited this and now created a matrix to follow to help ensure consistency going forward. We have increased the data points and by creating our matrix improved the accuracy we are reporting on.

This is the reference year against which future reductions in emissions will be measured.

Emissions Scope	Description	kgCO₂e (Baseline Year)
Scope 1	Emissions from sources that your organisation owns or controls directly	4,613
Scope 2	Emissions that your company causes indirectly when the energy it purchases and uses is produced	803.6
Scope 3	Emissions that your company is indirectly responsible for, up and down the value chain.	66,949.3

3. Current Emissions Reporting

1^st August 2024 to 31 July 2025

Emissions Scope	Description	kgCO₂e (Baseline Year)
Scope 1	Emissions from sources that your organisation owns or controls directly	3,218
Scope 2	Emissions that your company causes indirectly when the energy it purchases and uses is produced	701.5
Scope 3	Emissions that your company is indirectly responsible for, up and down the value chain.	69,914

4. Emissions Reduction Targets

Fuse CS is committed to reducing emissions year-on-year to achieve Net Zero by 2040. We project that carbon emissions will decrease overtime as shown below:

Short Term Targets (2025-2028)

We currently use E-ON Next who provide 100% renewable electricity.
In December 2025 we are moving to Pozitive Energy – Carbon Offset Gas, at our next renewal in 2027 we will look at further improvements.
We are reviewing our refuse contracts, as we are currently getting large bins emptied weekly, we don’t have that much waste, so we are planning on changing to smaller bins emptied fortnightly, 1 for general waste and 1 for recyclable, we are also adding a food bin which will be emptied weekly.

Long Term Targets (2028-2040)

We plan to continue to progressively decrease our emissions, aiming for a 70% reduction by 2035, with the ultimate goal of eliminating all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by 2040.
We will expand our focus to other categories, such as employee commuting and upstream transportation, aiming for a 50% reduction in these emissions by 2035.

Regular monitoring and reporting will be conducted to ensure we stay on track, with adjustments made as necessary to meet our Net Zero commitment by 2040.

5. Carbon Reduction Projects

At Fuse CS Ltd, our commitment to reducing carbon emissions is central to our operations and client engagements. Our carbon reduction initiatives are designed to align with ISO 14001 and PAS 2060 standards, ensuring that our environmental management and carbon neutrality effort are robust and effective:

Cloud-Based Solutions: By utilising Microsoft Azure and other cloud computing platforms, we significantly reduce the energy and resource consumption associated with traditional IT infrastructure. The solutions are aligned with ISO 14001’s focus on minimizing environmental impact and contribute to our PAS2060 goal of demonstrating carbon neutrality.
Energy-Efficient Operations: We are implementing energy-efficient practices across our operations, including low-energy lighting and optimized heating and cooling systems. These measures support ISO 14001’s requirements for resource efficiency and help reduce our overall carbon footprint.
Digital Transformation Projects: Our digital transformation services promote sustainable practices by streamlining operations and reducing reliance on paper and physical resources. This aligns with PAS 2060’s emphasis on carbon footprint reduction and supports ISO 14001’s objectives of minimizing waste and resource use.
Employee Engagement and Training: We provide training on sustainability and efficient IT resource use, ensuring that our staff contribute to our carbon reduction goals. This initiative supports ISO 14001’s focus on environmental awareness and PAS 2060’s requirements for demonstrating commitment to carbon neutrality.
Supply Chain Optimisation: We integrate sustainability into our supply chain by selecting suppliers based on their environmental practices, using sustainable materials, and reducing emissions in procurement and distribution. This effort is in line with ISO 14001’s environmental management standards and support PAS 2060’s carbon neutrality goals.
Continuous Improvement: We are committed to refining our data collection and reporting processes to enhance the accuracy of our emissions tracking. This approach aligns with ISO 14001’s focus on continuous improvements and PAS 2060’s standards for demonstrating and maintaining carbon neutrality.
